SUMMARY:FABS Handpress Era: Martha Driver on Collecting Erasmus
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \n“Collecting Erasmus”\nMartha will share a brief bio of the Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus (d. 1536) and provide short descriptions of several Erasmus volumes in her collection. These include the first edition of Erasmus’s In Novum Testamentum Annotationes (1542) which has been heavily censored by a very assiduous member of the counter-Reformation\, the Colloquies (printed by Charlotte Guillard\, 1519)\, the Adages (printed by Gryphius\, 1550)\, the Apophthegmatum (1641)\, and two editions of the Praise of Folly\, one in English (1668) and one in French (1728). Along the way\, she will discuss Erasmus’s friendships with powerful people\, not the least of whom were printers and the painter\, Hans Holbein the Younger\, who promoted the work of Erasmus and helped to make him famous.\n\nFor a link\, contact Jennifer Larson: info@fabsocieties.org\n\nMartha Westcott Driver is Distinguished Professor of English at Pace University in New York City and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. A co-founder of the Early Book Society for the study of manuscripts and printing history\, she writes about illustration from manuscript to print and manuscript and book production. In addition to publishing some 80 articles in these areas\, she has edited thirty-two journals\, including the Journal of the Early Book Society. Her books include The Image in Print: Book Illustration in Late Medieval England (published by the British Library in 2001)\, An Index of Images in English MSS\, with Michael Orr (2007)\, Preaching the Word in Manuscript and Print in Late Medieval England: Essays in Honour of Susan Powell\, with Veronica O’Mara (2013)\, and John Gower in Manuscript and Early Printed Books\, edited with Derek Pearsall and Robert F. Yeager (2020).

SUMMARY:Constructing Scientific Eminence in the Library of Congress Manuscript Division
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Manuscript Society \nThe Library of Congress holds more than 12\,000 manuscript collections documenting a broad range of American history and culture\, among them around 1\,000 collections in the history of science and technology. Acquired as part of a broader collecting program targeting “nationally eminent Americans\,” the Library’s science and technology acquisitions have been deeply shaped by evolving standards for scientific prestige. \nIn this talk Dr. Levy will discuss the history of science and technology manuscript collecting at the Library of Congress\, and will suggest that science and technology-collecting repositories can benefit from deeper investigations into how notions of professional eminence have shaped their collections. He will review some of the Library’s efforts to document the nation’s science and technology history\, explore collecting gaps left as scientific labor became increasingly professionalized\, well-resourced\, and politically powerful\, and describe staff efforts to fill those gaps. \nDate: Monday\, February 9\, 8PM EST\nGuest Presenter: Josh Levy\, Historian of Science and Technology\, Manuscript Division\, The Library of Congress\nHost: Gerald “Jay” Gaidmore \nPresenter\nJosh Levy serves as historian of science and technology at the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. There he oversees collections that include the papers of Samuel F.B. Morse\, Matthew Fontaine Maury\, Alexander Graham Bell\, the Wright Brothers\, Sigmund and Anna Freud\, J. Robert Oppenheimer\, Carl Sagan\, Dr. Ruth Westheimer\, and Gladys West. He has published on topics ranging from agricultural history and the history of nutrition to Native Pacific history and the history of mathematics. He has taught history and indigenous studies courses at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, University of South Florida\, and College of Micronesia-FSM. He holds a Ph.D. in modern U.S. history from the University of Illinois and a Master of Theological Studies degree from Harvard Divinity School. \nRegistration\nRegister for the next Manuscript Monday.  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pO0T610uQ0GYxlqDSAtebw
